How do I turn my 510 battery on/off?

Five clicks of the power button turns the battery on. Five more clicks turns it off. The battery auto-shuts off after about 10 minutes of inactivity to preserve charge.

How do I change the voltage?

Three clicks cycle through the three power settings. The LED color tells you which voltage you're at:

• Green LED — Low voltage (best for thicker concentrates, preserves flavor and terpenes)
• Blue LED — Medium voltage (balanced flavor and vapor production)
• Red LED — High voltage (denser clouds, fastest vaporization)

Start at low voltage and step up to find your sweet spot — most cartridges work best at low or medium.

How do I take a hit?

Press and hold the power button while inhaling slowly through the mouthpiece of your cartridge or attachment. Release the button when you're done drawing. Most batteries also auto-engage when you draw (5-click activation may still be required first).

How do I charge it?

Both 350 mAh and 650 mAh models charge via MicroUSB. A charging cable is not included — use any standard MicroUSB cable. The LED turns red while charging and green when fully charged. Full charge takes about 1–2 hours.

Will it fit my cartridge?

Yes — both batteries use a universal 510 thread and work with any standard 510 cartridge or threaded attachment, including the Dip Devices Hot Knife Tip, replacement atomizers, and most pre-filled carts available at dispensaries.

My battery is blinking — what's wrong?

• Blinks 3 times when you press the button: Battery is low — charge it.
• Blinks 5 times when you press the button: Short circuit or cart is screwed in too tight. Unscrew the cart slightly and re-thread.
• Blinks 10 times when you press the button: Auto-shutoff after holding the button too long (typical 10-second safety limit). Just release and re-press.
• Won't turn on at all: Try charging for 30 minutes before retrying — the battery may be fully depleted.

My cart isn't hitting — what do I do?

1. Confirm the battery is on (5 clicks).
2. Unscrew the cart, clean the 510 threads on both the cart and battery with a dry cotton swab, and re-attach. Don't over-tighten — finger-tight is enough.
3. Try the high voltage setting (red LED) — some thicker oils need more heat.
4. If the cart is brand new, try priming it: take 3–4 short, soft draws without holding the power button to pull oil into the coil.
5. If still no draw, try a different cart on the same battery to isolate the issue.

Can I use it with a hot knife?

Yes — the Hot Knife Tip ($14.99) threads into either 510 battery for mess-free dab loading. Prefer an all-in-one tool with its own battery? That's the DabStars Electric Hot Knife ($19.99).
